:CJ-10 (missile)

In the September 2014 edition of Joint Forces Quarterly, an article reportedly described CJ-10 as a subsonic missile with a range of more than 1,500 km and a 500 kg payload. The article attributes the missile having a guidance package using inertial navigation system, satellite navigation, terrain contour matching, and a likely Digital Scene-Mapping Area Correlator for terminal guidance. Ships and transporter erector launchers were listed as launch platforms.

In 2013, the United States believes that the missile has a range of more than 1,500 km, and can potentially carry either conventional or nuclear payloads.United States National Air and Space Intelligence Center Public Affairs Office: p.29 In 2004, the CJ-10 was credited with a CEP of 10 m.{{cite web |last1=Minnick |first1=Wendell |url=http://www.janes.com/defence/news/jmr/jmr040921_1_n.shtml |title=China tests new land-attack cruise missile |website=Jane's |date=21 September 2004 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040929122144/http://www.janes.com/defence/news/jmr/jmr040921_1_n.shtml |archive-date=29 September 2004 |access-date=24 May 2015}}

The YJ-100 is a subsonic anti-ship version of the CJ-10 with a range of {{convert|800|km|mi nmi|abbr=on}}. The missile can be air-launched by the H-6 bomber and fired from a vertical launching system of the Type 055 destroyer according to Chinese expert Li Li on Chinese television.{{Cite web |url=http://english.chinamil.com.cn/news-channels/china-military-news/2015-02/04/content_6340222.htm |title=China's anti-ship missiles YJ-12 and YJ-100 revealed |website=China Military Online |date=4 February 2015 |access-date=5 December 2015 |archive-date=5 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201005083233/http://english.chinamil.com.cn/news-channels/china-military-news/2015-02/04/content_6340222.htm }} The YJ-100 will have an onboard radar.{{Cite web |first1=Jeffrey |last1=Lin |first2=P.

The development of the CJ-10 could have potentially benefited significantly from Chinese acquisition of NATO and Soviet missile technology in the 1990s, notably the Kh-55 (purchased from Ukraine), and the Tomahawk cruise missiles (that were unexploded and purchased from Iraq and Serbia). A 1995 Russian document suggested a complete production facility had been transferred to Shanghai, for the development of a nuclear-armed cruise missile. Originally it was thought that this was based on the 300 km-range Raduga Kh-15 (AS-16 'Kickback'), but it now appears that it was the Kh-55 that was transferred to China.

Jane's Information Group reported the CJ-10 was tested 2004. An August 2012 report by Jane's indicated that a shipborne variant of the missile may have been tested on Bi Sheng, a Chinese weapons trial ship.{{cite web |last1=Rahmat |first1=Ridzwan |url=http://www.janes.com/article/44444/plan-commissions-fourth-dahua-class-vessel |title=PLAN commissions fourth Dahua-class vessel |website=Jane's |date=14 October 2014 |access-date=29 May 2015}}

The United States in 2008 estimated that 50–250 missiles were in service,{{cite report |author=United States Office of the Secretary of Defense |author-link=Office of the Secretary of Defense |date=2008 |title=Annual Report To Congress: Military Power of the People's Republic of China 2008 |url=http://www.defense.gov/pubs/pdfs/China_Military_Report_08.pdf |page=56 |access-date=29 May 2015 |archive-date=12 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121012082939/http://www.defense.gov/pubs/pdfs/China_Military_Report_08.pdf }} increasing to 150–350 in 2009.{{cite report |author=United States Office of the Secretary of Defense |author-link=Office of the Secretary of Defense |date=2009 |title=Annual Report To Congress: Military Power of the People's Republic of China 2009 |url=http://www.defense.gov/pubs/pdfs/China_Military_Power_Report_2009.pdf |page=66 |access-date=29 May 2015 |archive-date=23 July 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150723134959/http://www.defense.gov/pubs/pdfs/China_Military_Power_Report_2009.pdf }}
